I think it's best if you just get an air cooler until you fully understand and learn how a custom loop works.

If you just want liquid cooling regardless, just get an AIO.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 as per popular internet recommendation. Personally, I have used a Raijintek Thermis Evo in my cousin's build to cool an FX 8350 and it works great too.

Youtube is your friend. If your not willing to invest 3 or 4 hundred dollars on a CPU water loop then look into an AIO cooler like an H100i if you really want it to be watercooled. I tend to recommend good air coolers over an AIO though because they offer similar performance.
